Hünenburg bei Watenstedt

The Hünenburg site contains fortification walls and ditches forming an oval shape measuring 160 by 220 meters on the western edge of Heeseberg.

Established around 1100 BC, the fortification served as a settlement center for approximately 600 years during the Late Bronze Age period.

Archaeological excavations revealed bronze vessels, tools, and animal remains indicating religious practices and trading activities at this fortified settlement.

Visitors can access the site through marked trails and learn about its history from information panels placed near the preserved earthen ramparts.

Geomagnetic measurements identified a 27-hectare outer settlement area containing wooden post houses and ritualistic animal burial sites.
